In another thread @Randy Holmes-Farley linked to an very interesting article https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rspb.2018.2444

Thanks for the link! I scanned the article and I have some questions. Perhaps they're in the paper and I simply missed them. I'll look at it in detail ASAP.

@Lasse, I would think the fans of using blue light are going to like this article.

I do not prefer blue LOOKING aquariums but I prefer a lot of blue wavelengths!!! Is a tuff equation but easy solved with help of RGB LEDs IMO

Lighting has the same influence on human skeletons. I can see this playing a role in coral as well.

Even yellow looking mercury based light still has a massive amount of blue spectrum and so does the sun... not that I prefer that, only mentioning that until people picked specific diodes, corals always got a lot of blue both in nature and in our homes. It would make sense that a coral developed the ability to do this through natural selection in the wild.
